ur comment is full of wanking and riding for hashirama than known FACTSNagato isn't knocking down a Buddha with any Shinra Tensei he has shown so far. Did you forget about weight when you drew the conclusion of ST knocking it over?
Also at destructive power. People need to understand that Shinra Tensei by itself has absolutely no destructive power whatsoever, its just a repulsive force. Colliding into things is what causes the damage. Killer B was injured from being tossed backwards by Shinra Tensei, because he did not collide into anything.You must be registered for see links
Notice here that it isn't the ST Repulsive force that hurt Hinata that badly. It was the repulsive force sending her into the ground.You must be registered for see links
CST only made that crater because the repulsive force was aimed toward the ground. When it hit the ground it started destroying it making a crater. (Also I'd like to note that the ST Nagato used was used by turning his other paths off and fueling Deva with all his power. That ST will be the same size even if Nagato was using it by himself)
If someone was in a plain with no hindrances near by and they got hit by CST, they would be sent flying back god knows how far but they wouldn't be injured.
You are also looking at the techniques AoE to determine power, but that is not how it works, at all. Attacks like Bijuu Dama (Kurama) do more damage to a structure like PS or the Buddha than AoE attacks do. Tenpenchii was an AoE attack and it was tanked using a V2/V3 Susanoo and the Kyuubi V1 cloak.
Buddha would tank any CST or he could overpower it via Chojo Kebutsu, considering the crater it made was deeper than the one made by CST, which means more force, if the two clashed the one with more force would break through.
i posted a scan from the manga about how easily the buddha got smashed
u really need to go back and play some kingdom hearts " KID "
